Entrepreneurship in Japan: Delivering Value AI Can't Replicate

The Value Only Humans Can Create in an Age of Rapidly Advancing AI

As generative AI experiences rapid growth, its impact threatens the existence and relevance of industries and professions across the board. For entrepreneurs and service providers like us, this means we must place an even greater focus on identifying and delivering true value to our customers.


Even in today's world of rapidly advancing AI, we firmly believe there are unique and deeply valuable experiences that only humans can create. These include “value created over the passage of time” and “value generated through human interaction.” AI excels at analyzing vast amounts of data and delivering efficient solutions. However, it lacks creativity, emotion, and the depth that can only be cultivated through time and lived experience.


Value Created Over the Passage of Time

Certain skills, traditions, and cultural landscapes have been shaped over decades, centuries, or even millennia. These are values that only time can produce—something AI, with its instantaneous processing power, simply cannot replicate.

For instance, witnessing the mastery of a swordsmith whose techniques have been passed down for generations, staying overnight in a 100-year-old thatched-roof house, or feeling the awe inspired by the timeless beauty of Mount Fuji—these are experiences imbued with a depth and richness that no AI-generated content can match. They carry the weight of history and the emotions they evoke are inherently human.


Value Generated Through Human Interaction

Humans communicate not only through words but also through facial expressions, gestures, and the subtleties of atmosphere. While AI can provide convenience on a screen, the profound connections and empathy that arise from face-to-face human interaction remain irreplaceable.

For example, meeting local farmers who are passionate about sustainable, farm-to-table practices, engaging in dialogue with a Buddhist monk who expresses concerns about modern societal trends, or learning directly from seasoned entrepreneurs who draw wisdom from their own challenges and successes—these are encounters that transcend the surface-level answers AI can provide.


Focusing on Human-Centric Value in Business Travel

At Japagrit, we focus on these distinctly human values by designing business travel experiences that emphasize human interaction. Through meaningful dialogues and authentic encounters, we provide experiences that cannot be replicated by simply clicking a button on a computer.

Our business travel programs center around human connections (Talk) as a core theme, allowing participants to immerse themselves in perspectives and insights that only emerge through direct, personal engagement.


A Recommendation for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

The above reflects our perspective on the unique value that AI cannot offer. For those of you considering starting a business in Japan, we strongly encourage you to design your services with a deep understanding of what truly matters to your customers. Consider whether your offering provides a level of value that AI cannot compete with.

By focusing on the irreplaceable aspects of time-honored traditions and genuine human connections, you can create services that resonate on a profound level—both in Japan and beyond.
